Protecting Personal Information

We use a secure server and take other measures to ensure that any information disclosed to us remains secure.

Disclosing Personal Information

It is possible that we may provide your information to our service providers and associated organizations in order to fulfil your requirements. Where our service providers are based in the United States, they are contracted to comply with the same terms as dictated by UK law.

We will share your information with selected third parties, Flamingo Partners in the UK and abroad (including in Australia and New Zealand), business partners, suppliers and sub-contractors for the performance of any contract we enter into with them or you, analytics and search engine providers that assist us in the improvement and optimisation of our site, advertisers and advertising networks that require the data to select and serve relevant adverts to you and others.

We may disclose your personal information to third parties in the event that we sell or buy any business or assets, in which case we may disclose your personal data to the prospective seller or buyer of such business or assets. If Flamingo Paperie or substantially all of its assets are acquired by a third party, personal data held by it about its customers will be transferred.

Where we Store your Personal Information

The data that we collect from you may be transferred to, and stored at, a destination outside the European Economic Area ("EEA") including in the US, New Zealand and Australia due to where our servers are held. It may also be processed by our staff operating outside the EEA or by one of our suppliers. Such staff may be engaged in, among other things, the fulfilment of your order, the processing of your payment details and the provision of support services. By submitting your personal data, you agree to this transfer, storing or processing. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this privacy policy.

Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.

Your Consent

We sell our products only through independent Flamingo Partners. When placing an online order, you are seamlessly transferred to the website of a Flamingo Partner during checkout. The contract for the purchase of products is made between you and the Flamingo Partner, and we will fulfil the order on the Flamingo Partner’s behalf. Your contact details will be held by both us and your Flamingo Partner, who may contact you to ensure you are happy with your products.

You agree that we may provide your details to another Flamingo Partner should your current Partner cease to be a Flamingo Partner. Your Flamingo Partner may contact you with details of products and opportunities we provide, invite you to events or contact you to obtain your feedback.

When you provide us with information you automatically consent to it being used by us for the purposes as set out in this privacy statement.

Changes to Your Information

If your personal details change and you want us to be aware of this please let us know by contacting us at: info@flamingopaperie.co.uk.

UK Data Protection law gives you the right to access information held about you. Your right of access can be exercised in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Any access request may be subject to a fee of £10 to meet our costs in providing you with details of the information we hold about you.

We reserve the right to modify this Privacy Statement from time to time. We will post any notice of changes on our website and where appropriate, to you by e-mail. Please check back frequently to see any updates or changes to our privacy policy.
